Big Sis: Hey Lil Sis! You excited about putting up our first chapter! *Smiles*
Lil Sis: Yup! This idea is so awesome and I Love Adrian..Well except in this chapter.
Big Sis: Hahaha! I'm not sure if you'll totally like him in the next one either. Lol. But we should tell the readers that we don't own these characters...
Lil Sis: Aw...Argh I hate doing that. I love these characters! Wish I owned them but they belong to the talented and awesome...
Big Sis: ...Richelle Mead. Yup *pops the 'p'* Doesn't that suck for us, but at least she made them awesome for us to work with! I mean if she didn't make Adrian sexy (please don't tell him I said that) and Rose whitty then our story just wouldn't be the same!
Lil Sis: Yeah, you're right. So thank you Richelle! Haha don't worry, Adrian is already cocky enough and I love Rose ! Awesome and fierce but anyways, do you think it's time to let the readers read?
Big Sis: OMG! What the hell did I tell you about stealing my thoughts!
*shakes head* We should definitely let them read. *Smiles*
Lil Sis: Hope you all enjoy readers!...And perhaps a little review at the end? :)
Big Sis: Definitely Review! :o) Enjoy!
Rose checked her appearance in the mirror for the third time as she waited for her blind date to show up, hoping Lissa didn't set her up with some dork like the last time. She gave a slight shudder at the memory then focused back on her reflection. Her long brown hair was perfectly curled with half and hour's worth of patience and cascaded neatly past her shoulders. She wore a blood red dress that accentuated her cleavage, hugging her curves and flowing out a little as it went past her hips tightly. Her three inch black pumps made her stand at a whopping 5'10", and her lightly applied makeup accentuated her beautiful features.
I'm lookin good, Rose thought with a smile. She jumped at the sound of the doorbell ringing. She took one last glance in the mirror before making her way to the front door.
"Coming!" She shouted out to the person on the other side of the door as her pumps clicked against the staircase.
Grabbing the handle, she whipped the door open and a pair of emerald green eyes connected with her chocolate brown ones. His green eyes didn't stay up for long as they traveled down the length of her body with an amused expression. Rose couldn't help but take in his appearance as well. The first thing she had noticed was his beautiful emerald green eyes that fit him perfectly with his brown hair that looked like it was purposefully messy and high cheekbones.
Rose glanced at her pumps and back at Adrian's height. He looked about 6'3 and was dressed in white button up shirt that wasn't buttoned up the whole way. Blue jeans hung over his black boots and a leather jacket was thrown over his button up. She couldn't help but think he was hot and she quickly masked her expression before he could take advantage of it. When Rose's eyes returned to his face, there was a cute smirk spreading across his face and she realized he must've caught her checking him out. Damn.
"You must be Adrian Ivashkov?" Rose finally asked as she extended out her hand to him confidently.
"Well most of my friends just call me Adrian," He grinned, grabbing her hand softly and giving it a gentle shake. "You must be Rosemarie."
"Ew. Please, just call me Rose. I hate my full name." She told him seriously but with a small smile.
"Okay, you got it, Rosie." He smiled back at her; however, her smile was quickly wiped off her face.
"No. Just Rose." She dead panned, hiding a smile.
"Kay, got it. Just Rose." Adrian said giving her two thumbs up, causing Rose to laugh cheerfully. Maybe this won't be as bad as I thought it'd be, she thought enthusiastically.
"You ready to go?" He questioned her politely and motioned behind him.
"Yup, let me just grab my purse." Rose replied before turning away from him to her table beside the staircase where her purse lay. She felt an uncomfortable but slightly good feeling that he was watching her. She grabbed her black clutch and returned to the front door. Adrian stepped back and let her step out then she locked the door behind her. "Ready." She smiled at him and they began their walk down the sidewalk toward the dark street.
The grass on the other side of them was wet with rain that had pounded harshly a few hours ago causing most flowers to droop. Rose kicked away a stray rock and clutched her jacket tighter around her as a cold breeze hit her. She glanced over at Adrian but he didn't seem to notice the weather. Instead he looked as if he wouldn't freak out if there was a sudden earthquake.
"Sorry if I was late." Adrian apologized sincerely, glancing sideways at Rose who stared ahead of her.
"Oh, it was just an hour and a half. No biggie." She shrugged slightly, even though his lateness really did bother her. It had given her mind more time too freak out about her outfit.
"Really, an hour and a half?" He inquired, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly as if he actually didn't realize how late he had been. Rose gave a small smile that was slightly forced.
"Yeah, but Lissa and Christian told me you'd probably be late." She told him truthfully and slightly hoped he wouldn't be offended.
"They did, did they?" He chuckled and stuck his hands into his leather jacket.
"Yup," Rose replied popping the 'p'. A silence passed over them before Rose spoke up as she remembered a fact Lissa had told her. "So you're new to Missoula?"
"Yea, don't really know anyone here besides Chris."
"How long have you known him?" She asked and he looked thoughtful.
"Since the 9th grade. How about you and Lissa?" He asked and Rose automatically replied, the answer easily appearing in her mind.
"Since kindergarten." Rose told him with a mischievous smile as they finally reached the street where several cars were parked.
"So, where are you parked?" She questioned and looked around.
"This is me right here." He smirked, pointing to a black and white 2010 Ducati SportsClassic in front of them that Rose's eyes had totally passed over.
"Uh..." Rose trailed off speechless as she stared at the motorcycle in surprise. She had never ridden on a motorcycle let alone with a boy. She amused herself for a second by thinking of what her mother, who was in a different state, would say if she saw her daughter on a motorcycle with a boy. Rose bit her lip and glanced own at her tight dress that stuck to her mid-thigh.
"Don't worry, you can hold on as tight as you want." He winked and passed her a helmet from the back. "Safety first." He smirked then took a helmet for himself. He started to put it on then stopped when he caught sight of Rose's uncertainty look.
"Is something wrong?" He asked then smirked again. "Don't worry, I'm an amazing driver."
"That's not really what I'm worried about," Rose muttered under her breath then out loud she said, "Um, how about we take my car? I don't think I can ride on that with this dress on." As Rose spoke Adrian's smirk disappeared.
"Sure..." He said uneasily and Rose made a mental note of how much he loved his motorcycle.
"Great! My car's right here." She smiled sweetly and slightly seductively as she walked over to her red Volkswagen beetle a few cars down.
"Nice car." Adrian grimaced while Rose rummaged in her purse for her keys. Finally she took them out and stuck it into the lock.
"You think so? It's new." She smiled at him from the other side of the car before slipping in the driver's side.
"It's...great." He told her as he squeezed himself into the small car. It was quiet for a couple of minutes before Rose broke the silence.
"So," She turned her body to look at him, "Where are our reservations at?" Her tone held some excitement. She hadn't gone on a decent date for a while and she had a lot of flirting bundled up.
"Uh..." Adrian said with a guilty look.
"You didn't make any." It was more of a statement but Adrian still shook his head. Rose sighed and a twinge of disappointment and irritation but she wasn't about to let this ruin her night out. "That's okay; we can find somewhere else to go. I know this great -" She was cut off by Adrian's phone going off loudly.
Damn you's a sexy chick.
Damn girl.
Damn you's a sexy chick.
A sexy chick.
Damn you's a sexy chick.
Damn girl.
Rose was beginning to lose her patience at both the fact that Adrian hadn't had the decency to turn his phone off or at least vibrate on a date and the ringtone. Adrian patted his pockets looking for his phone. When he found it he stared at the screen before putting it back in his pocket.
"Go ahead, you can answer it." She told him and looked out the window.
"No, no. It'll just go to voicemail. What were you saying?" He urged her on and put his full attention on her causing her to smile.
"Well, I know this great place in town -"
Damn you's a sexy chick.
A sexy chick...
"Please! Answer it, please." She insisted, her tone filled with annoyance. This is not going well, she thought sadly.
"No -" He began but when Rose shot him a look he flipped his phone open and placed it to his ear uncomfortably.
"Hey...you." He spoke into the receiver, turning away from Rose awkwardly, not saying whoever was on the other end. Rose gaped as she realized who he was talking to.
Oh. My. God. He is so talking to a girl right now while we're on our date! Rose thought in shock.
"Yea, eleven-thirty." He turned his head to give Rose a smile, which was obviously fake. "Actually, why don't we make it ten-thirty?" He said in a lower tone so Rose wouldn't hear, but she did and boy was she angry.
Her mouth popped open into an 'o' shape as she gaped at him. No, he did not! She was getting more and more pissed off by the second as she tapped her fingers impatiently on the dashboard.
"Mhmm, mhmm, yup. See you later." He smirked as he flipped his phone closed and turned fully towards Rose again; ready to pretend he actually cared.
"You know, we don't have to do this." Rose told him irritated before he could get a word out. She was so surprised that this date went wrong in less than an hour. Must be a record.
" Really? Alright well -" He began to reach for the handle when Rose cut him off.
"Are you serious! You're not even going to try!" She exclaimed as she finally lost her temper.
"Oh, come on. We're just doing this to make Lissa and Christian happy." He said nonchalantly, as if it didn't really matter.
"Then don't you think we owe it to them to at least go and attempt this?" She tried reasoning, but he stared blankly at her and Rose felt stupid for trying to reason with him. She should have guessed this would be a bad date from the start but her expectations had gotten the best of her. "Ugh, never mind! And maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't make a booty call when you're out on a date with someone else!" She sneered at him.
"Please, save it. Best case scenario would've been us getting drunk and hooking up." He smirked and his eyes traveled quickly down her body.
"Oh my God! You're such an ass!" She shouted at him in frustration and disgust.
"Fine we can go to a restaurant if you really want!" He yelled back, equally frustrated.
"Are you serious! Get out of my car!" She screamed and he looked like he was about to argue but she fixed him with one of her murderous glares. He quickly got out of the car and stood beside the door as Rose also got out of the car. She slammed the driver's side door and stalked away from him without another word, pressing the lock button on her keys. The car clicked into lock behind her as Adrian stood there speechless. Her heels clicked against the sidewalk at a fast pace as she hurriedly made her way back to her apartment.
She flipped open her phone and dialed Lissa's number, but it went straight to voicemail. Probably making out with Christian as usual, Rose thought and rolled her eyes mentally. 'Leave a message after the beep and I'll call you back later. Bye!' Lissa's perky voice sounded through the phone.
"Bye Rosie!" Rose heard Adrian yell as he revved his bike and took off. A beep sounded over the phone and Rose squeezed her eyes shut and sighed in irritation before speaking into the receiver.
"Liss, you owe me big time! Just promise me that I never have to see him again." Rose flipped the phone shut before entering back into her apartment.
She slammed the door behind her in hopes of taking some of her anger out so she wouldn't go chasing after Adrian to punch him in the face. She locked the door behind her and threw her clutch on the table. After hanging her jacket in the closet she made her way upstairs to change after one of the worst dates in her life.
